The Future of the Church: Cynic-Saints?

Gospel Centered Discipleship asked me to write something about how we disciple cynics. In working on the piece (“Discipling the Disillusioned”), I was struck with the urgency of that task. If young (and not-so-young) folks are leaving the church due to their frustrations and disillusionment, then the future of the church lies in our capacity to reach them. And they are out there, hovering out on the margins. Maybe you… maybe me… the disillusioned souls who get branded (often self-branded) as cynics.
